2: Bhutan – Blend two cultures together, when you celebrate Diwali in Bhutan! Head over to the Phobjikha Valley for the exotic Black-Necked Crane festival, a sacred ritual where the monks of Gangtey monastery put on an elaborate performance to welcome the Black-Necked Cranes for their winter migration. Traditional music, magnificent costumes, graceful dances, and a spiritual aura create a stunning celebration to welcome these sacred birds as they arrive in Central Bhutan from the Tibetan Plateau for the winter. Nonstop flights from Delhi and Bangkok, as well as an easy entry permit on arrival for Indian passport holders make this a fantastic last-minute escape.
3: Kenya – If you’re a wildlife buff and enjoy being outdoors, then head over to Kenya for a spectacular break in the heart of nature. Stunning game parks, gorgeous lodges, terrific naturalists and spectacular biodiversity make Kenya a once in a lifetime experience for every wildlife lover. Non-stop flights from several major gateways take you straight into Nairobi. Kenya’s easy electronic visa makes it a quick and easy escape.
